"Thanks for all your help - before, during, and after the sale. Your knowledge of the local real estate market and trades helped keep the property up to date and your 'keeping an eye on the place' gave me great piece of mind - Great Job!" ....Joseph P. Doody "Karen and Doug Parker were incredible realtors. They took extra care to make sure we found a special (first) home. They are extremely profession, patient, organized, and they make you feel like you are working with family." ....Katherine (& Michael) Knott "Karen and Doug provided us with thorough advice well in advance of putting our (Westpoint-Hilliard Schools) house on the market so we knew exactly what to do to prepare for listing it. They carried through with excellent marketing skills and photographs generating multiple interests and a bid in the first nine days our house was on the market. Their expertise and that bid sold our house in amazingly little time in a challenging housing market." ...Susan (& Bryan) Moore "It was a delight working with Karen. Doug did a fantastic job on the pictures of our (Hilliard) home and his layouts (tours) of the pictures were wonderful." ...Colleen (& Brian) Barta "Doug & Karen have been terrific to work with, from our first conversation about selling our (Hide-A-Way Hills vacation lake) house past the closing on our property. We were given great suggestions on preparing the house to show well, they always kept us informed and were easy to get in touch with when we had a question or concern. The Multiple Listing piece was done so well, especially the video, that if we were not selling the property we would have bought it. Thanks, guys!" ...Barbara (& David) Gessaman
